+ * Threading sometimes requires specially-named versions of functions
+ * that return data in static buffers, like strerror_r() instead of
+ * strerror(). Other operating systems use pthread_setspecific()
+ * and pthread_getspecific() internally to allow standard library
+ * functions to return static data to threaded applications. And some
+ * operating systems have neither.
+ *
+ * Additional confusion exists because many operating systems that
+ * use pthread_setspecific/pthread_getspecific() also have *_r versions
+ * of standard library functions for compatibility with operating systems
+ * that require them. However, internally, these *_r functions merely
+ * call the thread-safe standard library functions.
+ *
+ * For example, BSD/OS 4.3 uses Bind 8.2.3 for getpwuid(). Internally,
+ * getpwuid() calls pthread_setspecific/pthread_getspecific() to return
+ * static data to the caller in a thread-safe manner. However, BSD/OS
+ * also has getpwuid_r(), which merely calls getpwuid() and shifts
+ * around the arguments to match the getpwuid_r() function declaration.
+ * Therefore, while BSD/OS has getpwuid_r(), it isn't required. It also
+ * doesn't have strerror_r(), so we can't fall back to only using *_r
+ * functions for threaded programs.
+ *
+ * The current setup is to try threading in this order:
+ *
+ * use *_r function names if they exit
+ * (*_THREADSAFE=yes)
+ * use non-*_r functions if they are thread-safe
+ *
+ * One thread-safe solution for gethostbyname() might be to use getaddrinfo().
+ *
+ * Run src/test/thread to test if your operating system has thread-safe
+ * non-*_r functions.
